Is this amount of radix reduction possible? (Photos)

The first profile photo shows a high, shallow nasofrontal transition, while the edited image creates a much deeper angle between the forehead and nasal bridge. Radix reduction can be performed by carefully contouring the upper nasal bones, but the safe amount is limited by bone thickness, skin and soft-tissue coverage, the frontal sinus region, and the need to preserve stable nasal support.

Your cropped photos do not show the full facial profile, frontal width, tip–chin relationship, or whether the edit has changed image scale. Therefore, they cannot establish that this exact depth would look natural or be technically safe. Excessive reduction can produce a visible step-off, irregularity, an unnaturally deep root, or a weakened upper bridge. The contour also has to blend smoothly into the dorsum rather than treating the radix as an isolated point.

A rhinoplasty surgeon should examine the bone and soft tissue and obtain standardized full-face frontal, oblique, and profile photographs. Imaging is not routine, but it may be considered if an unusually large bony reduction is planned or anatomy is uncertain. A more conservative simulation, compared side by side with your current profile, would be a better planning target than trying to reproduce the edited image exactly.

Since the rate exposed is thick like forehead bone, there are limitations regarding how much it can be lowered. Based on your morphing, I believe that you made your Radix too deep, and I I'm not sure if it's possible, or feasible. Please consider meeting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists who offer computer Imaging, so you could learn what to expect after surgery. Wishing you well moving forward.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, it will depend on your anatomy, but yes radix reduction is possible. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Yes it is feasible maybe you went a tad too low but okay, possible and reasonable aesthetically; I wish to warn you about the simulation posted, you designed your tip overly high, upturned or "piggy", that's not correct and you'd be unhappy with it.

The type of radical change you wish is very acceptable and harmonious (tip rotation aside), but only possible with a complete set of modern structure rhinoplasty and graftings.

This is a case for a difficult, comprehensive but in good hands very rewarding structure rhinoplasty, do research well the surgeon's experience, talent and passion for fine work on difficult cases; do perform dozens of in person and online consultations before moving forward.
